Summary

There's a something inside Michael, an unearthly desperation that all three of them possess, that calls out to be satisfied. As far as he's seen, it's something he can only get by giving in and handing his will over to someone else. Humans have correlaries in their BDSM games but humans don't need it the way they do, to be stay sane, to be whole. It's another alien thing that keeps Michael from feeling at home in this world.

And then he meets Alex.
